We’ve rolled out a set of improvements to both the in-app booking experience and the customer booking page for Services(v2) to make scheduling simpler, clearer, and more reliable 🎉

🖥️ In-App Enhancements (for Businesses)
- Smarter phone number handling — Country code is now auto-selected based on your business location
- Default staff selection — The logged-in user is automatically selected as staff when creating a booking (if applicable)
- Service availability alerts — If a service is no longer available, a clear banner is shown and unavailable services are highlighted before saving

📝 Appointment Title Enhancements
- Custom value selector — Easily add dynamic values like contact, service, or location to appointment titles
- Global setting — Configure a default appointment title format from Services → Global Settings → Service Settings
- This setting is applied across all service bookings, ensuring consistent and clear titles across calendars, notifications, and integrations

🌐 Booking Page Enhancements (for Customers)
- Cleaner booking flow — Category and location filters are automatically hidden when only one option exists
